Dental Assisting Job - Asking if applications are being accepted?

I recently took a course in dental assisting. I found an office that I might want to work for. I have a resume ready but I would like to call ahead instead. How do I call a dental office to ask if they're accepting applications? What exactly should I say over the phone?





I'm very new to the health industry and do not know the appropriate way to ask. My dental class was a little short with how to actually "look" for a job. So all help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

First look to see if they have a web presence, you may be able to see if they have a job posting.


Next, if not on the web. Dress nicely as if for an interview, go in introduce yourself and present your resume.


But first, if at all possible I might do a spy mission; book an appointment for consultation and see if you like the place and the people you might be working for and with. If you like it, after the consultation, present resume (be sure to look professional also).


Remember when looking for a job, you are interviewing them as much as they are you. You want to get a job where you will be happy, as well as making money.
Reply:Its better if you apply on-line or person.Hi i was wondering if the such and such position is still open and here goes my resume etc(don't forget the cover letter).
